Normally, I find the blueyonder newsgroups quite good (if you're quick enough), but today I found there are lots of (nothing but) incomplete files. I've seen similar complaints on the web from the last week or so.

As for the OP's question: Yes, the VM website lists news.cable.ntlworld.com as the news server. It won't authenticate for me, but news.blueyonder.co.uk does. So, us ex-BY people need to go through the old BY servers (which are pants at the moment), but the kind people in charge of the VM website appear to have forgotten to mention that.
